The power for it will come from a long extension cord.

Reassembly for the sugar shed will start in a couple of weeks.
I suspect that the closer that we get to tapping season, the more nervous we BOTH are becoming! Just a couple of days ago I saw a reference on another thread here to a video made by the RO Bucket folks in regards to evaluating the condition of the membranes (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7GZLyBHbg4) so I ordered another tool for my RO machine's testing arsenal - a Total Dissolved Solids tester. This will go along well with my PH meter, k-type dual channel temperature temperature digital thermometer, and two refractometers I have readied for my first season of RO production.
